Lent at Crosstown: Journey to the Cross

“The punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5). In our “Immerse Prophets” series, we visited these words and pondered their significance. Now, as we traverse the path to Jesus’ cross, we can view these words in a fresh light. As a unique highlight of our journey, we’ll arrive on Good Friday by finding ourselves in a mirrored Cross. Make plans now to participate on Good Friday evening @ 6:30 pm
